Chapter 418: A Problem From Above (1)

My head started to hurt.

'Fuck. That can't be good.'

Unfamiliar situations like these were unwelcome.

When I opened my mouth, tapping my thigh out of sheer nervousness, Kim Miyoung began answering right away.

"You say it is shedding tears of blood?"

"Yes. I heard that the Holy See is currently investigating the exact reason and cause. It's also something that has not been announced externally. Considering the confusion of the State's people, that much is obvious, but..."

"It's not the right time to announce publicly. No, they wouldn't be able to say anything like that."

"Yes. I know he is ailing, but Pope Basel wanted you to come to the capital as soon as possible. If possible, within the day..."

"Grunt."

"If you don't want to, I will tell him..."

"No. It's not because of that. It's not. I am not reluctant."

'I have to go regardless.'

It was a request from none other than Pope Basel. This was also a matter related directly to the Benignore Church. It would be strange if I didn't go.

Even if I was sick, I had to attend those events unconditionally.

Other things could be lightly ignored, but considering that most of the power I had came from there, I couldn't afford to ignore them as well.

The problem was that the situation felt too serious for it to be treated simply as a mysterious phenomenon, especially in the State.

'Why are you suddenly shedding tears of blood? Fuck.'

I didn't even know that such anomalies could occur to the Goddess statue. It was lamentable as to why she hadn't used those means so far.

I felt like it was an ominous sign.

The reason why the Holy sector wasn't reacting in any other way was to prevent confusion among the people, no more, no less. If that were wrongly spread outside, the confusion would be incomparable to the previous one.

'It must be hell inside.'

Considering Pope Basel's character, who originally had a hot temper, the atmosphere would probably be quite stressful. In addition to this, I knew what would happen when our Pope Basel, who was kind only to me, was now mad, so I had to swallow hard.

In fact, I had initially thought there would be basically no problem.

Originally, the race of gods was a little bit cheap and sometimes did strange things.

Like the trashy Elune, for example.

However, I had to be a little cautious as I recently caused a pretty big event using their names.

It was a situation similar to the saying, 'guilty conscience needs no accuser.'

Of course, I was not guilty. However...

'There is a one in a million chance.'

It wouldn't happen, but what if. What if... it was revealed that the Goddess descent was a lie?

'Everything will be ruined.'

Everything that I had built up so far could collapse.

It was a little over the top to think like this, but I also thought that the Holy side might first notice and would want to start investigating me.
